The Cat smart phone can withstand a 6ft fall onto concrete and can sit under 3ft of water for up to 30 minutes! And after you get your hand wet fishing your phone out of the water, you can still operate the screen with a wet finger. That’s not only useful for construction workers but just about everyone.

Bullitt Mobile is building the Android phone and it will cost $350.
